hello

[dotcom]

since being in lots of therapy and experimenting with different meds i have been doing alright with ptsd. i have only had a few extremely paranoid out of body feeling like everyone is out to get me moments. and that is a blessing. my problems are always going to be there, just sometimes they are better and sometimes they are worse. im hoping that the degree of severity will go down a notch each time with help of my doctors and the medications. im getting out and doing fun things. my days now are semi good days, not great, but they are good. that is a good sign because i believe they could be worse but i am getting a lot of help so they are better.

That is great longboarder. I too am very glad to be getting the help I need for major depression and PTSD. I am not at the stage yet where my interest in activitities has returned but I still get out there and try. Last night was a difficult night for me as I was too hypervigalente to be able to relax enough to sleep. I still have nights like that but at least now I know what it is all about and don't feel as if I'm going crazy. I am proud of my progress I have achieved in keeping myself safe and sober which is a great help with both my disorders. I also have made a friend of another woman who is in recovery from addiction and PTSD and being able to talk with her has helped me greatly. Matter of fact we are going out together today to an aboriginal AA healing powwow. Thanks for sharing and for listening to me. It always helps!!!
